🌙Our 4th graders were over the moon with excitement during this week’s science adventures! 🚀✨

They kicked things off with an interactive science experiment, rotating through stations to explore and experience each phase of the moon. To sweeten the learning, they teamed up with their table groups to use Oreos to model the different moon phases!

These hands-on, interactive experiences bring science to life, helping students deepen their understanding while making memories that will last a lifetime. Learning really is sweeter when you can explore, create, and have fun along the way! 🔬✨

🌕 Family Fun Challenge: Ask your fourth grader to teach you about the phases of the moon! Share with us what you learned!
